The company claims to be "India's first discount brokerage" having debuted the "discount broking" model in India that is popular in developed markets. The model exempts customers from any broking charges on trades and transactions, and favours traders who take large futures and options provisions. Instead, a flat fee of a maximum of Rs: 20 is applied to a trade, irrespective of its size. In December 2015, Zerodha became the first Indian stock broker to offer brokerage and commission-free equity investments.
